The PRC spring package is superior to the Patriot because the springs are manufactured out of top quality material using the best manufacturing process. PRC has a .650 setup and a .675 lift setup depending on your cam. Another great thing about the PRC spring combos, every major component is manufactered in America.

thanks for the quick response! .650 spring should be fine for my .610/.605 lift cam.

The PRC spring kit use to be the same spring as Patriot uses, but we recently finished updating the spring kits with a all new spring configuration that has been tested to increase spring life, as well as resist loosing height like some of the Associated springs were doing. The new PRC springs are designed and tested using several years newer technology compared to the previous spring.

What you get with the PRC spring kit is a brand new spring, titanium retainers & seats built in the US so you know your install height won't be all over the place. All of this for the same price as the competitors spring kit!

not to hijack the thread, but related to that same topic and something ive been wondering, is it possible to buy the PRC duals without retainers and the goodies that are listed on the website? my H/C package is about 18 months old now and i need to check everything. just wondering if you can post or PM a price on what just a set of 16 PRC duals would be. thanks jason,

Sorry the new spring uses a completely new retainer & seat. We ground up redesigned the new PRC spring kits for maximum performance & reliability. The changes in wire thicknesses made a retainer tweak pretty much a must!

awesome, i appreciate the help. now i know what i need to save up for then, and one more question; when did this redesign take place? if i bought a set of PRC 5.3L stage 2.5 heads in march of 2008 are they the new or old design?
